One Side Breathing Hole Massage Cushion

ABSTRACT

Massage cushion has been used in Shiatsu and Thai massage for many years, its weak point is that there is no breathing hole like massage table. Massage clients are not comfortable and easier to get neck sprains. This invention is to take the advantage of semi-solid foam board to be the filler of massage cushion, so we can open breathing hole on one side of massage cushion, and open a ditch like horizontal air channel connected to the breathing hole. Accordingly the fabric case of the massage cushion is opened a breathing hole at the same location, and assembly two or three stainless steel airholes closer the outlet of air channel. So that the revised massage cushion become one side breathing hole cushion, one side for massage, and the other side can be used for gym exercise.

Thai massage has thousands of years long history, and Shiatsu massage was invented in 1920s. Both of them are operated on massage cushions. However, massage clients are not comfortable when in prone position, because there is no breathing hole on massage cushion, They have to twist their neck and often get neck sprains. So it is necessary to design a new massage cushion with breathing hole.

This invention is to create a new massage cushion with one side breathing hole, which can be used for Thai massage, Shiatsu massage and Ashiatsu massage, and also still can be used in Gym exercise.

An example of this invention is to use semi-solid Foam board as the filler (6,7,8) of the massage cushion (10), this example uses EPE foam board; because semi-solid foam board can be easier to be processed with mechanical tools. We design to cut a 4-inch round breathing hole (4) on the first filler (6) supporting the clients' upper body, and this 4-inch round hole just a half deep, a round pit, instead of going through hole. And also correspondently to open a 4-inch round hole on the first fabric case at the same location with the round pit on the filler(6); Next, from the upper side of filler (6), we open a 2-inch wide ditch) (5) to connect the round pit (4), so that it becomes a horizontal air channel. At the top side of the fabric case (1), we assemble 2 or 3 stainless steel eyeholes (9) at the front of air channel outlets (5).

This kind of massage cushion only has breathing hole on one side of the massage cushion, so it not only can be used for Thai massage, Shiatsu massage, Ashiatsu massage, also on the other side of the cushion, can be used for gym exercise, or Yoga practice.
